rotor blade help

I received a Protocol Skyline RC copter for Christmas and promptly crashed it and broke one of the blades. There is virtually no way to contact the company for a replacement, only an email comment form.

I searched all the places Google and such offered and found some blades that looked to be the same, but were listed as being a different mfgr.

\My inclination is to think that this is a private branded brand name that is only interested in selling the unit and nothing more, but I would like to repair it at least long enough to learn to fly it.

RE: rotor blade help

My suggestion would be to look at Syma helis and see if there's one that closely matches what you have. It might be a re-branded Syma clone, but I couldn't find any detailed pics of it. Syma parts aren't too difficult to find.

The cost per kit is $10.00. Unfortunately at this time we do not sell pieces
individually. We hope to sell parts on our website in the near future. Please
also note that we are currently out of stock on the kits so it may take up to
four (4) weeks to receive your kit. We apologize for this delay and will send
it to you as soon as possible if you place an order.

To receive a kit, please send a check or money order payable to: Protocol

Please complete below and include this form with your order and payment:

We thank you for your purchase and hope you continue to enjoy your Protocol
Product(s) for many years to come.

Look for more Protocol Products at your local retailers!

Have a safe flight and Happy Holidays from The Protocol Family/Customer Service

As you can see, they don't want to give a phone #. It will prolly take 2 or 3 weeks to get it if I have to mail them a check. I think I will take your advice and see if I can find something at the local hobby shop under Syma.

RE: rotor blade help

That's probably not a bad deal for $10. I don't think you'll find much at a hobby store for Syma per se, but many parts are usedon the same helis. One shop told me they don't carry Esky parts, yet they had an exact copy of a blade holder I needed under two other barnd names, Eflite and HPI.
